Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a printing unit that prints an image on a recording medium, and an image quality adjustment unit that performs an image quality adjustment of the printing unit in a case of a state in which an operation is started, which causes the number of operations performed by a user to become larger than a predetermined number.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a printing unit that prints an image on a recording medium; and
a controller configured to perform an image quality adjustment on the printing unit in a case of an operation in which the number of user operations is greater than a predetermined number is started,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where a user starts an input of an address of a transmission destination of data from the image forming apparatus in an operation device which receives an input operation with respect to the image forming apparatus.
2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where the user performs an operation of causing a basic screen of the operation device to transition to a detail screen for performing setting in detail with respect to one basic function which is set in the basic screen.
3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
detect a fact that it is necessary to perform the image quality adjustment,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where the controller detects that it is necessary to perform the image quality adjustment.
4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where the user starts the input of the address from an address input screen.
5. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where a printing operation is stopped while the printing unit performs the printing operation.
6. The image forming apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where the recording medium to be printed by the printing unit does not exist.
7. The image forming apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where the recording medium does not exist in a recording medium conveyance path from a recording medium supply unit, to which the recording medium is supplied, to a recording medium discharging unit to which the recording medium is discharged.
8. The image forming apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein the controller does not perform the image quality adjustment in a case where the recording medium exists in a recording medium conveyance path from a recording medium supply unit, to which the recording medium is supplied, to a recording medium discharging unit to which the recording medium is discharged.
9. The image forming apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where the number of discharging sheets of the recording medium, which is printed by the printing unit, reaches a predetermined number of sheets.
10. The image forming apparatus according to claim 9 ,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where the recording medium does not exist in a recording medium conveyance path from a recording medium supply unit, to which the recording medium is supplied, to a recording medium discharging unit to which the recording medium is discharged.
11. The image forming apparatus according to claim 9 ,
wherein the controller does not perform the image quality adjustment in a case where the recording medium exists in a recording medium conveyance path from a recording medium supply unit, to which the recording medium is supplied, to a recording medium discharging unit to which the recording medium is discharged.
12. The image forming apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where the recording medium does not exist in a recording medium conveyance path from a recording medium supply unit, to which the recording medium is supplied, to a recording medium discharging unit to which the recording medium is discharged.
13. The image forming apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein the controller does not perform the image quality adjustment in a case where the recording medium exists in a recording medium conveyance path from a recording medium supply unit, to which the recording medium is supplied, to a recording medium discharging unit to which the recording medium is discharged.
14. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
detect a fact that it is necessary to perform the image quality adjustment,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where the controller detects that it is necessary to perform the image quality adjustment.
15. The image forming apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
detect the state in which the operation, in which the number of operations performed by the user is larger than the predetermined number, is started,
wherein the controller performs the image quality adjustment in a case where the controller detects the state in which the operation is started, which causes the number of operations performed by the user to become larger than the predetermined number, and the controller detects that it is necessary to perform the image quality adjustment.
16. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
detect a fact that it is necessary to perform the image quality adjustment,
wherein the controller does not perform the image quality adjustment in a case where the controller does not detect that it is necessary to perform the image quality adjustment.
17. The image forming apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
detect the state in which the operation, in which the number of operations performed by the user is larger than the predetermined number, is started,
wherein the controller does not perform the image quality adjustment in a case where the controller does not detect that the state in which the operation is started, which causes the number of operations performed by the user to become larger than the predetermined number, or the controller does not detect that it is necessary to perform the image quality adjustment.Cited by (0)
